Final Report

Source: (2009) National Commition on Restorative Justice.

This more-detailed treatment commences with a review of the approach of the

It concludes by making tentative projections as to potential scale and by outlining appropriate steps it considers should be taken to apply restorative justice more widely. This
sequence is also reflected in the executive summary below. (Excerpt)
